Motorized use could be restricted in Callaghan

The provincial government is expected to make a decision in the
coming weeks that would restrict motorized vehicles in parts of the Callaghan
Valley.

Called a Section 58 under the Forest Range Practices Act, the
order could restrict use on Crown land if the minister “determines that it is
necessary to protect a recreation or range resource or to manage public
recreation use on Crown land.”

There are currently no orders like this in place in the
district.

The order would be enforced through public education.

It is not clear at this point what areas of the Callaghan
Valley would fall under this new order.
